I have just read an article that mentions that Barry Bonds has entered into talks to join the New York Yankees.  There’s a match fit for each other.  Barry’s ordeal has taken a bit of time.  He hasn’t played for a team in close to a year, but I have to admit that it might be nice seeing him back on the field.  He can (could) still produce for a team if they decide to give him the opportunity.

I don’t know, but I am a bit biased.  I actually like Barry, no matter what the circumstances of the last couple of years–steroids or not, Barry spent a lot of time at the top of his game and he is still always fun to watch.

It is mentioned that Bonds’ contract talks may involve some specific clauses for his playing time.  We all know that he has a big congressional trial heading his way that may lead to some missed games.

Let’s hope it works out either way.  You know, the older I get, the more I start rooting for the older players…haha.

Hiroki Kuroda (5-6) threw 7 perfect innings, retired 21 straight batters, and almost had a no-hitter this evening before the Atlanta Braves’ Mark Teixeira launched a double in the 8th inning, ending Kuroda’s streak.  Kuroda still came out on top as the Los Angeles Dodgers bested the Braves 3-0.

The Dodgers win puts them in a tie for first place in the NL WEST with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

On an interesting side-note, the last Dodger to throw a no-hitter was fellow Japanese player Hideo Nomo, who done so back on Sept. 17, 1996.
